Nature of Biology

Students explore the nature and scope of biology, identifying its main branches such as botany, zoology, entomology, genetics, and mycology. They will create concept maps to organise this knowledge. This topic helps Zambian learners understand biology as a broad, interconnected science relevant to their environment. It builds a framework for the entire syllabus and supports exam readiness by clarifying the different areas from which ECZ questions may be drawn, fostering an early appreciation for the diversity of biological studies.
